Technically the water does not have to be distilled. Swimming most show animals (horses, sheep, dogs,.....hamster) does increase lean muscle mass which ultimately improves their power to weight ratio and helps them run cooler in competition under moderate loading and increases peak load carrying capability. While bulk can increase load rating and thus tracktive effort, we have observed a reduction in top speed.
We also have big concerns about bagging the hamster powered robots, which makes me believe they may not do the bag and tag this year....
